We will be getting decking in the alfresco, but other than that, we would be quite interested in doing something like this for our back.
The garden bed in the picture projects outward on the left, we would prefer to have it uniform the whole way through.
I'm guessing that the retaining wall is concrete from the picture, but i'm not sure. Would this be expensive to achieve?
The length of area to be covered by the retaining walls would be around 8m long.
Landscapers vary so much in their pricing Deep, that the best thing you could do is show the pic to a few, tell them what you want, and ask them to quote
I know someone who paid about $4k for a look very similar to this and a retaining wall so they can put hedging in, a built in pond was also incorporated into the retaining wall. This also including paving of paving bricks. Nothing fancy but for the price and the overall look...very effective and cheap in my opinion. Area of ground cover not the same as the photo.
I did something with a similar effect, but i used concrete sleepers. There are nice ones instead of the plain boring concrete look. You can get sandstone in yellow or grey. I got grey ones with a slate look. They were only $40 each and 2m long. You might be able to do that in something like that for under $500.
Hey deeps,
what you have shown there is probably made from utility bricks and then rendered i think.
Im going the same as DIY after handover, hope it turns out ok :p
What would be the best way to go about DIY'ing the above? What retaining wall system would be best to pick?
We are thinking of going concrete sleepers too. I didn't know there were dfferent types like sandstone options. Thanks.
That is a garden done by one of our Homeone members
Give him a bell or he may pop in to let us know
Hi Deeps,
